letra de as a child, i always dreamed of fire - damirah

tonight i will tell you about “good mornings”
about all the things that your mind dissolved and now it’s time to vomit down the sink at dawn
the fires are dancing when you squeeze your eyeb-lls
like fireflies that escaped from dreams
follow their trail
retrace your steps
find the place you are trying to forget
every single night

come, i’m telling you
see how much is written in flesh
how much is left of the scratches
the ones you pulled
attempting to erase the trails
the trails of the days in the trenches
the cuts from the break of day
the final blows which left you dying
with the entire kite twine wrapped around your neck

it takes two people
two at least
one to make the words
and another, to insert the fuse
light them up and throw them away
but what am i even saying
as if you ever gotten so hungry to entirely enter another person
maybe if you burn
you ‘ll learn
well, let me teach you about hunger
or about diving in unknown bodies
the ones that you clutch by the veins and organs
so that you listen to what they have to say about the night that just started
and about fires
close your eyes a bit more

lesson number one
we learned it all together
and if we hurt somebody it was no other than ourselves and we will continue to do so
sorcerer’s apprentices but as the wise man says
“if you don’t imagine bonfires, don’t play around with coal”
and as a child, i always dreamed of fire

you know, the kind of fire which hugs you
carrying the light, even with your eyes shut
even when you seek to save yourself
but, on second thought
there are times, they tempt you to dance inside them
to find out how much your skin can take.
